The myth of Iridanos river and the willow tree

comes from the Greek Mythology. The ancient

and modern Greeks call the willow tree weeping

willow, as its branches remind of a crying pose.

The ancient Geeks used to have a myth for

every river and every tree, so this river was the

place where the son of Helios died, his body lies

there. The presence of willow trees near the

water is justified by the mourning sisters, who

were turned into trees by the Olympian Gods, so

that they can always be by the river, where their

brother lies.
